# GET

### Overview

The **HTTP GET component** allows sending HTTP GET requests to external services. It is useful for retrieving data from APIs and other web resources. The connector processes the request and returns the response details, including body, headers, and status code.

### Instructions

1. **Ensure API Endpoint Supports GET Requests**
   * The `url` must be a valid API endpoint accepting GET requests.
2. **Set Necessary Headers**
   * If authentication is required, pass headers (e.g., `Authorization` token).
3. **Provide Query Parameters**
   * Use the `body` parameter to define query parameters as a JSON object.
4. **Configure Response Encoding**
   * Use `utf8` (default) or other supported encodings.
5. **Review API Response**
   * Check `statusCode` and `body` for success or failure messages.
